- Eat a full, nutritious meal 1-3 hours before your appointment.

Aftercare Protocol
The healing process is just as important as the piercing itself. Follow our professional protocol to prevent infection and ensure longevity:
- Clean twice daily using a sterile saline spray (like NeilMed).
- Hands off: Do NOT touch, rotate, or pull on your new jewelry.
- Avoid submersion in pools, lakes, or hot tubs for at least 4-6 weeks.
- Keep the area free of makeup, perfumes, and harsh facial cleansers.
- Listen to your body: Swelling is normal, but contact us if you notice excessive heat or redness.
Piercing FAQ
Does getting a piercing hurt?
Pain is relative, but most piercings feel like a quick pinch or sharp pressure followed by a warm sensation. Our studio approach focuses on precision and speed to make the experience as comfortable and efficient as possible for you.
How long is the healing process?
Healing times vary: earlobes usually take 6–8 weeks, while cartilage, nose, and body piercings can take 6–12 months. Consistent aftercare is the key to preventing complications and ensuring your piercing heals safely.
